Guys,

One off topic questions

1. How is the audio quality on headphones? I am planning to buy this device, but I listen to music a lot... So poor audio quality like Galaxy Ace is a big no no for me. Also, is the audio volumes on headphone high enough for daily commuting in a Metro like Kolkata ;) ?

2. How is the display in sunlight?

3. How is the battery life - use phone for at least 5 hours of calling everyday (I know it sucks, but thats part of my life :( ). Plus always on Mail (through KMail)..

4. Is the display really worth? Or should I go for Desire X / One S?

Any proper data on these data will be highly appreciated.
[Micromax A116] dkn00b:
1. The quality and volume is good. But it comes down to personal preference. So beware.

2. Display is good as it is IPS

3. Battery life is decent. Again it all depends how much u use. 3G internet will drain it quicker.

4. Display is worth every penny. Haven't seen HTC mobiles so can't compare. You could try and look for online review videos and decide on the screen.

And the loud speaker is a little disappointing. Low volume and at max there is too much distortion. But if that doesn't bother you its good.

Also the screen is a little sensitive, takes a while getting used to or could be just my mobile as build quality differs.

Anyway hope that helps you decide.

Is it official release or custom rom?

Is is rooted or not?

I am new to this so please make it simple.

Thanks,
[Micromax A116] thunderising:
^^ I don't know what to answer after you quote the entire post
[Micromax A116] haree:
hi

here simple for u read the 1st post u can see that the 1st one is official stock rom and the rest u can also read and understand i assume:confused::confused::laugh:

here more simple answer for u yes 1st link on the post if official stock rom :cool::p:laugh:
[Micromax A116] kihtrak778:
Thanks, but the micromax info says there is no 4.2.1 update yet.

I checked with micromax website and with service center.

There is no official 4.2.1 update for A116.
[Micromax A116] eagledipesh:
All stock roms will have "STOCK ROM" mentioned, Others are custom ROMs.

Try it at your own risk, Go through the thread of the ROM that you would like to try and check for known issues.

Jelly Xperia and Jelly Deamon are good ROMs for daily use.

If you feel you cant understand it or don't have time to read the thread, then don't try this.
[Micromax A116] haree:
dear

the stock rom provided is 4.1.2 yes you are right their is no off update as of yet for 4.2.1

ur question was if this is the official stock rom and yes it is and it is given for those who add CWM and root their phone and might need it if req in the future for warranty purposed OK:good::laugh:

I got the device yesterday. Whole day has been spent trying to install CWM and then root. Using win8 pro, the drivers are installed. On running sp flash tool, on connecting the phone without battery, tool recognises the device and then throws and error 8200 which is something like "the loading and target are not same". I tried this on win7 machine as well. Same result. Can anyone pinpoint where is the mistake or what the problem could be?

I accidentally broke my canvas hd touchpad and it is not available in market.

I went to mmx service center but they said it will cost Rs 6500/- to fix it.:crying::p:(

Any Solution.:(
[Micromax A116] luckydogra:
huh

1.) CM for mediatek is difficult to built, needed to be built from mediatek vendor tree which is too buggy.

2.)Dual sim is biigest problem, even if someone wants to make cm, it would work on one sim only.

3.)Kernel source code for mt6589 is released by acer but a dev is needed to make kernel from it to a116

Recently it has started going and deciding when to work. His back light turns on and off by itself. Its the R800x on CSpire. Could moving it to a custom rom fix this issue? Even today it started to randomly have troubles turning on. I have his back light turned up all the way but it stills dims on its own. He's starting to call his phone a POS lol.

Flash Philz kernel.

Full wipe and flash whichever ROM you want.....

Also, use search as this question has been asked many times in the past :mad:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msedek:
If you have speedmod kernel the chance of bricking its 0... And if you want the ODIN official JB leak just go Odin mode power+home+volume down then flash.. You don't need to wipe going from Ics to JB TW

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krypticz123:
So its just a case of finding the JB leak i want then, putting it on SD card and flashing using mobile ODIN?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiDai:
No, you should allways follow the installation instructions in the specific thread for the JB Custom Rom you want.

If you choose the XXLSA leak from sammobile.com (that was the base leak for all following XXLSA/C Custom Roms) then you can use Mobile Odin - I did this many times without problems.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
Mobile odin and pc odin is similar.

The only different from what I know is.... with mobile odin you can keep ur root, and flash custom kernel.

Whereby with pc odin, all will be brand new. No root, stock kernel.

If ur device is rooted alrd, and u have cwm recovery installed, why don't u choose custom rom, and just flash it from cwm recovery?

Easier, fast, no headache. :p

Custom rom has some tweaks that might improve performance.

But choice is urs. Good luck mate.

I prefer Mobile odin if already rooted as this way we can change the kernel at the time of flash to be safe

Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plznote:
Xylon or CM or stock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RodneyBR:
Thx. Stock is working for me just fine, but I know the damn power button is gonna die soon and I wanna get an app that uses the screen to turn the phone on. I have a proximity app now but it's poor and doesn't work that well as it turns the phone on when I don't want and a lot of the time it doesn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stewyfallingup:
Seriously try purity rom. And give ak kernel a try.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MBQ_:
Wrong thread.

Bad question to ask.

Why? It can cause arguments, each phone works differently despite the general consensus, people are biased towards their favorite ROM (which can cause arguments), and you can only, truly know through personal experience with each ROM.

Thread reported.

Have a nice night.

You can user pgm nexus on stock. Flashing a custom ROM has nothing to do with using an app to turn the screen on. I used pgm on stock rooted for about a month.

every device is different so whats good for me wont always be good for someone else...so try them all for yourself and see which works best for YOU

PS- if you are worried about wearing out the power button.. give either pgm or smart screen on a try, they are both on play store
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RodneyBR:
Ok, so just root it, leave stock and all's good with pgm. Thx

Thx, but doesn't smart screen use the proximity sensor? If so, I found the last app I tired (ProximityScreenOff) that used it a little finicky.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] 1FstYOTA:
I got my friend to buy a UAG S3 case, over quality and build is nice. I actually like the new design better, sets it apart a bit, plus 10 bucks off with the promo code why not. I went through like 5 cases this one should be a keeper.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mexiking713:
I ordered mine because I didn't like the otterbox commuter. This case looks good and seems rugged enough for my needs. That $10 off code seal the deal for me. I hope this one is a keeper.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Xirix12:
For me its the feel and quality of the case. I don't like trendy hip cases. The design is what it is and I still bough the case because I have previously used a case from UAG. I would get an iPhone if I wanted cool design cases.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] techgov8:
Where did you get $10 off?

Doin' big thangs from my Note Deuce
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Pompsdai:
Its from the other uag thread. Use UAG10%PROMO for 10 bucks off.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] zkyevolved:
I ordered mine because I saw a lot of very positive reviews about their design and build quality. Not to mention the design looks very modern. There are only so many TPU cases you can own before they go stale. haha. I really wanted a Speck Pixel HD case, but it's been a while and hundreds of votes later they didn't really care. So I moved on. UAG case looks fresh, while the Case-Mate Tough case looks a little boring. One thing i loved about their tough case was all their silicone colors! I used to have it for my 9700 way back in the day and it was awesome to have so many colors but now they make a few and that's it. So... Pay 47 dollars (with european shipping) for a black on black case that's a little dated, or pay 30 dollars (with free shipping, so 23 euros that was taken from my bank account this morning) for a new design. hehe. I hope this is the case for me! :D
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] gpgalanis:
Do you kmow what carrier they use to send the cases in Europe? Also you mentioned free shipping. Is it for all European countries?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Bright.Light:
Well, at least they ship to the Netherlands for free.

Just ordered a black one.

Now I have to search for a way to put a metal plate inside to use it in the car (magnetized car holder)

Currently I am using the Tetrax car holder, but that means a (small) metal knob on the back. This way the phone cannot lay flat on the table. So, I am searching for a car holder which can hold the phone with that metal plate inside. (I once saw something like that, bu can't find it anymore)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] zkyevolved:
